I'm sitting in my new sitting room/office, admiring the results of a hard day's work. I think I have a comfy, damn near elegant retreat now.

I've actually been working all weekend. Yesterday and Friday I performed a major organizing miracle in my master bathroom and closet.

Today I swapped the master bedroom and sitting room. There is still one wall of my bedroom lined with books, notebooks and various miscellaneous piles. There is also one corner still cluttered with two small file cabinets and a few more piles.

The bulk of the heavy duty work is done, now I have only to sort through the piles and find a place for everything I don't simply trash.

It feels good, almost like I've finally come home. Now maybe I'll crawl out of my hole a bit.

Note to self: Sleeplessness will occur even if cream is applied during normal waking hours.

Well shit. So much for that idea. I can never sleep well after applying the topical treatment, so tonight I figured I'd try something different and instead of applying it at bedtime, I applied it at around 7 p.m., hoping that I could have it washed off and snoozing happily by 1 or 2 a.m. Yet here it is, damn near 3 a.m. and I'm awake, my skin crawling, my stomach clinched.

So I've grabbed a glass of wine (new taste I've acquired) and a cookie and am hoping one of the two will make the uncomfortable sensations in my crotch ease off enough to get some sleep.

The other night I found myself floundering in my search for words to comfort my mom. She's stressed and depressed (but I digress.)

The best I could come up was "well damn, but look at it this way, it ALWAYS gets better."

It's the circle of life Simba; the ying and the yang; the wax and the wane; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

"You know this. Life is going to get shitty sometimes. It's unavoidable. Shit happens, we know this. But it always gets better doesn't it? Granted, it will probably get shitty again later, but that's the one good thing about shitty, shitty ALWAYS gets better sooner or later."

I've been trying to get myself on a better schedule, one that includes getting up in the morning and going to bed before midnight and have been doing much better. I was up just before 7 this morning and was plowing through the work on my desk by nine.

By 11:30, I'd had enough so I loaded up my zip drive and came home. I've got a few phone calls to make this afternoon and a board meeting to cover this evening, but I'm free and clear until about 2 and yes, I believe I am going to spend the time snoozing!

Just So Ya Know...

Yes, I get paid to be a writer and editor, but by no stretch of the imagination do I consider myself a literary genius nor do I intend this blog to be considered anything more than a catch-all for the crap that flies through my mind. That being said, readers should be warned that I generally don't bother to edit or even proof my ramblings. They simply surface and are posted, flaws and all. If I happen to read a post later and catch some blatant error, I may be inclined to correct it. My sincere apologies to those of you who are driven completely mad by poor grammar and careless typos!
